Hello All - 4x4 Newbie Northwich

Post by ajgeastwood » Sat Sep 07, 2013 8:57 pm

Hi All,

Just a quick note of intro - just bought a Scuba Blue 1995 Vitara 1.6 JLX 3 door Soft Top 'for the wife' ;)
Wondering if anyone can shed some light on best vehicle dismantlers for Vitara in around the Cheshire area and best online source of new / used parts. Looking for a fuel sender as 1st item of business and eventually looking for Hard Top (yes, I know - but I can hope!).


Thanks in advance - looking forward to hearing hints / tips and help during the process of bringing the new toy upto scratch.

Welcome to SCUK bud.

Most standard service items can be bought from the motor factors.

For major components the forum is pretty good, lads quite often have Vitaras in for breaking. Other than that quite a few of us use ebay for bits and pieces.
